Amritsar, November 3

Ahead of the festival of lights, several exhibitions supporting the call for locally made goods and self-reliance were held. Some of these exhibitions supported a cause while others showcased handmade crafts by students.

The annual exhibition of All India Pingalwara Charitable Society was held to support the special children, who are wards of Pingalwara. Like every year, this year, too, the hand-made crafts included colourful creative diyas, candles, jute bags and décor items. All the items on display are made by children from Pingalwara’s school for specially abled and for visually and hearing-impaired children.

Director, Pingalwara, Dr Inderjit Kaur said that every year the sale-cum-exhibition was put up before Diwali to acknowledge the efforts of the children and encourage them for self-reliance and earn some appreciation for their talent. A special book stall of Punjabi literature was also displayed at the exhibition.
